Azul Called On Me Today: Strung Haikus

Haiku: a type of short Japanese poetry with 17 syllables in a 5, 7, 5 pattern

It's no coincidence that both birds and angels have wings. - Anonymous


as has been my wont,

today I fed the sparrows

and cheery robins.


when by the ivy, 

on the deck seat I noticed  

a tiny feather


sparkling in the sun.

Azul had come to visit! 

and he let me know.


his song had ended

he lived, he somersaulted, 

cheeped and flew away;


but he still lends me

wings that lighten my heart, 

and brighten the day.
